The pink coat is done and I've been enjoying wearing it these days. I don't know about you, but I really like bright colors. I believe I look good in them, and beside that I'm convinced they cheer me up on dark, rainy, days. Hence I believe this coat will be a staple in my wardrobe.

It's beautiful AnaJan! The perfect topstitching really makes it special. The colour looks great on you too. I love coloured coats, I'm always amazed how a new colour ties into my wardrobe - now that I have a bit more colour in there, that is!

Amazing work! I guess I am not able to do something like that. Modeling your coat, you look like a very well dressed, beautiful lady! And one cannot fail to mention the perfect topstitching!

Sooo well done! :-)

Ps: If I had to make a criticism, it would be that the shoulder length should be a bit shorter. If the shoulders are too long this imply some problems with the perfect fit of the sleeves and the back. (IMHO)

Hey Immi, I think you're right! I've been thinking about narrowing the shoulders a bit, but I first have to try the coat over some heavier clothes. On the pictures I posted I was wearing some light blouse underneath. That might cause the problem. Sometimes, making a muslin doesn't do all the work for me, I still need to try out the finished garment and see if it feels comfortable, before deciding on further alterations...

O.k.: That's an argument, that you want to wear the coat over some heavier clothes. I am jealous about your coat - really - it is wonderful! In fact this problem with the wide shoulders was my own: I pretend to modifie my bodice blogs according to this.
